English football coach and former player

Ryan Glen Mason is an English football coach and former professional player. He was born in 1991 and is best known for his work in coaching, most recently as head coach of EFL Championship club West Bromwich Albion. Mason’s career has been split between playing and coaching. After his playing career, he moved into management and coaching, and his name is now most often associated with that role rather than with his time on the pitch.
